New It's an Amperex 211D
It turns out I have two of them. It's a a high power transmitting triode. One of the two heater pins is also the cathode pin (heater floats at cathode voltage). That leaves one pin for plate and one pin for control grid.

Anode is sintered carbon because metal would buckle at the temperture these things ran at. Hight 7-1/2", dameter 2-1/4"

New The last glowing anode I saw was in the early 1960's,...
a ham friend of mine built a transmitter from scratch.

In the garage I have a Sylvania 23Z9, (I just checked) so I have a private mini-museum too! It's a Compactron, from the dying days of tubes.
